None if you’re in the general sales force

takes a toll on yourself if you not always positive during the call.

Cons

The drug screening email it wording kind make the person think that once received that if the test is not taken in 48 hours they can't take yet it the 48 hours once the appointment for the drug test has been made.

Cons

I have nothing negative at this time.

Cons

No control of delivery. Autonomous decisionmaking from management

Cons

Great people, flexible, PTO, room to grow.

Cons

401k is matched with company stock.

I was not laid off but know MANY who were in the last few years. Monthly unreported layoffs and outsourcing of various shapes sizes with little to no warning that have destroyed any sense of morale. Layoffs are well calculated to avoid WARN notices. There is no job security but that is the case with all telecom companies. Telecom is not a great industry in terms of employment and the changes happening are directly impacting the workforce. It is only going to get worse. You should always be proactive in preparing for your own future.

Cons

Company changed direction too often.

Cons

Total mean girls’ clique. You can be treated like Cleopatra if you are late EVERYDAY with no consequences. If your supervisor likes you, you can do no wrong. Direct supervisors will play favorites. No one shares knowledge, they believe the more they know the better off they are. Constant changes to procedures and not for the better. The team with high numbers were pushed out. Blatant disrespect within the team itself. The manager was immature and childlike. Windstream does not follow its own core values. Upper management does not care or have a clue. They let go of good people and keep slackers. We could work from home only if your supervisor liked you.
